I just bought a Seeburg sps2 jukebox. It is missing a fluoresent tube in the top. Does anyone know what size it is. Its about 23 inches long.

Those bulbs are measured "pin end" to "pin end". If I recall correctly it should be an F24"T-8 lamp--Do NOT use a "T-12" lamp there--it will run too hot, and will destroy the plastic and possibly the ballast--Also, different makers mark the lamps differently--the key is 24 inch, and, T-8.

I bought a 24" it works great. It was a 24 not a 23. Im learning these jukeboxes one day at a time. Thanks

Is it a T-8 or T-12 ? If T-12, Remove it before it does any damage ! Ron Rich

I have a F24T8CW4 that I put in there. That is the right one, I take it.
